| 0:00.0 | Howdy folks, welcome to another YouTube live stream. I hope you're definitely going to, if you're watching this, you're watching it somewhere. If you're watching it right this minute, you're watching it on YouTube. But we had a little bit of an issue last week where YouTube took the live stream down because we were holding guns and talking about things related to guns. And oh, I should stop saying that word, shouldn't I? So today we're going to be talking about things related to guns and oh i should stop saying that word shouldn't i uh so today |
| 0:23.7 | we're going to be talking about video games something that is completely virtual and made up and imaginary |
| 0:27.9 | and couldn't hurt anybody in any way shape or form and is also not related to real life in any way |
| 0:33.1 | so that'll be safe and we won't be taken down but But just in case it does, we are recording. So this |
| 0:38.0 | will go up on the podcast. Even if it gets taken off of YouTube, it will go up on the podcast. |

| 0:49.8 | even still on iTunes. So definitely get to the podcast. If you're watching on YouTube, we will be looking |
| 0:55.3 | at questions. If we get kicked off of YouTube, we'll just keep recording and you'll be able |

| 1:37.7 | He's the guy who does all the business stuff. |
| 1:40.0 | A lot of the managerial business executive things are done by David. |
| 1:44.7 | And David never went to business school, but he did play XCOM, which is what makes him such an awesome |
